1st Edition - Apple Unveils Spatial Computer & The World Goes Nuts

Plus New Curators Announced, BOSE S1 Pro+ Spotted In the Wild

Welcome to the 1st edition of TheFutureDJ, the official eNewsletter of Crate Hackers! We’re bringing you the BEST news and tech breakthroughs that DJs need to stay on top of so that you have no DJ FOMO, reduce your “DJ anxiety” and help you enter “The DJ Flow State” at your next performance. We’re starting with our current Crate Hackers members and then going broader. Hope you enjoy!

Dom & Aaron

Apple finally reveals their AR/VR (mixed reality) headset aka “spatial computer” and we have to say…. We’re pretty damn impressed. 

We could say all these things about what it does… But please do your future self a favor and get educated on this tech. This is the equivalent of Steve Jobs taking the iPod out of his pocket… Unveiling the iPhone & iPad… It’s probably bigger than all of those combined.

To get a quick primer, watch this 9 min quick intro from Apple. 

Then, I would set aside 45 mins and watch the entire part of this keynote. Tim Cook can hardly contain himself lol

This will help you understand that this is a totally new way of “computing” that’s different than an iPhone, iPad, Mac, iWatch, etc…

It’s…. Well…. A spatial computer.

NOTE: They even mention DJing in the keynote and show what it’ll look like to DJ in “Mixed Reality” thanks to djay from Algoriddim who’s already developing for the VR/AR app store. (preview below)

Here is a really good hands-on review from Marques Brownlee who says the new eye-tracking is like MAGIC. (No mouse… No joysticks… You control this thing with your eyes and fingers).

So what do you think? You going to buy one for $3,499? Answer our poll below!
